PM Update: Snow to be occasionally moderate through evening,

with slick spots developing around sunset
Two to three inches seems likely near and east of I-95, with more near the bay.

Snow has developed across the area this afternoon. Given above-freezing temperatures, accumulation has been minimal or none and relegated to grassy spots so far. As we drift toward and through sunset, temperatures will continue to drop. At the same time, the coverage and intensity of snowfall is on the increase.

The map below shows that the Weather Service anticipates the whole area to be 32 degrees — freezing — or below by 6 p.m. Any heavier bands of snow can push temperatures down even quicker, and there will likely be some of those around through late evening. It’s probably a good night to hang out at home. Travel is likely to become problematic over the next several hours.
